It's going to be annoying seeing all the bay area wannabe thugs and gangsters sporting 49er Moss jerseys from now up until 5 years down the line when he isn't with the team anymore and/or it ends in a messy divorce.

Why do you gotta be a thug or gangster to wear a Moss jersey? lol

Or are you referring to the type of idiots that still rock jamarcus russell jerseys

Alex Smith is a mediocre game manager who can't consistently attack deep.

This is my whole argument. I will agree that Smith needs to let if fly more, but his unwillingness to "throw people open" is NOT because of his arm. Bayless was saying today that Smith can't throw it more than 15 yards. Many posters here have said similar things.

Alex Smith CAN throw it deep, and throw it deep well. He has often with Vernon Davis, and prior to that Antonio Bryant. When Smith has a comfort level with a player getting open deep he has shown the ability to do it.

Can't and hasn't are two entirely different things.

If Moss is getting open deep, Smith will hit him. I have confidence in that.

New Era will unveil three hats on Draft day. The famed 59FIFTY will be worn by players, while agents, family and friends will wear 9FIFTY snapbacks and 39THIRTY stretch fit caps. Check out the photos below for more, as the caps will be available for purchase at midnight on April 1 at New Era Flagship stores only. On April 2, The Collection will be available at all participating retailers and Neweracap.com.

The 49ers wide receivers combined for 48 yards that game(and 1 catch for 3 yards in the next game), and you're bragging and using that as a defense of Smith. Or a video from 06-07 showing him making a deep pass. Isn't it bad that you have to go back 6 years to find a deep throw? lolol. What QB in the NFL absolutely CAN'T make that throw? It's not that it's impossible for them, it's just some guys don't do it well or consistently... like Smith.

Is your reading comprehension really this bad? Using that video wasn't to prove that Alex could throw it deep. He has the ability to do that. Using that video was to show he is capable of throwing a ball 60 yards in the air, which is a rarity in itself among all quarterbacks.

Come back and talk to me about Alex Smith when you've watched him play more than a few times. Until then, you sound like Skip Bayless.

He routinely hits Vernon Davis on deep throws. The WRs haven't been utilized in a deep passing game since Norv Turner was OC (Martz did, but Smith missed that season.)

The fact remains, that if he can hit Davis on deeps routes with consistency then he can hit other players that are creating separation as well.

And with Carl Nicks, Marques Colston, Robert Meachum, and Drew Brees still unsigned. Sean Payton likely to be suspended, and drafts picks likely to taken away, it's funny that you'd find an opportunity to attack the QB that knocked your team out of the playoffs. Yet you did. Well played.

Lmao, I'm not salty at all. We got beat by a good team. Score shouldn't have been as close as it was really. Alex Smith was mediocre and couldn't get the ball to his receivers even against our porous defense. Vernon Davis wasn't hit on deep routes either, he had some awesome catch and runs though.

If he can hit guys consistently, but doesn't, that's an issue. Having 1 catch of 40+ yards in the regular season is probably pretty "consistent" to you though, hahaha. Most QB's can get it 60 yards downfield, who said very few QBs can do that? Besides, Alex's physical ability isn't really in question, he's just not a very good QB.

You can keep trying to make me mad, it's probably the best feeling you can get when you know your team isn't capable of winning a superbowl, but you can keep telling yourself that Alex Smith is the guy, and keep making excuses for him forever. You guys got past us. Yippeeee, we aren't the 85 bears, and Alex's total inability to get the ball outside to his receivers murdered you and stopped you from going to the superbowl. Grats.

Oh, we signed Colston, but I'm worried about Nicks!! I hope Nicks gets resigned, but if not, it has everything to do with Alex Smith. Relevant!

Alex Smith is deathly afraid of throwing passes more than 15+ yards outside the hashmarks unless it's a single coverage fly route (one of the safer passes you can ask an NFL QB to make, btw). He is beyond afraid to make a mistake, and it's the reason the Niners offense is so stagnant and the WR's don't do anything. No amount of youtube videos of Alex Smith hitting wide open receivers downfield will convince anyone otherwise. He has zero faith in his own arm, and eventually, it's going to lead to Moss not caring anymore (or lobbying for Kaepernick).

As a fan of another good NFC team, it is just so awesome to me that Niners fans/coaches don't see that.

Now wait a minute, is he "deathly" or "beyond" afraid? Is he "beyond deathly afraid" perhaps? You seem to know Alex Smith very well. Seeing as you know he has "zero faith in his own arm".

Have fun watching your golden boy, gunslinging, "real" QB throw for 4000 yards and 25 TDs with 20+ turnovers. I'll have fun watching my 49ers making a longer playoff run than those other NFC teams. That is just so awesome to me.

Alex Smith had more 40+ yard completions than Jay Cutler last season.

But that's right, poor WR and O-Line play are a valid excuse for Jay Cutler.

Well, you got me. I used two different adverbs. I guess I know nothing about quarterbacks after all.
